After the founding of NATO to protect Europe and SEATO for South Asia, the Baghdad Pact was established to shield the Middle East. Its members were Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Great Britain, just the US did not accede, despite having initiated the program and being a member of the other organizations. The paper aims to explain this American decision and shows that the United States was caught between several dilemmas and ambiguities. In the end, the negative effects of accession were seen as more serious than the positive ones and the pact was left to its fate.

  • Standard Persian Within a Generative-Transformati Al Grammar
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 116 451 FL 007 110 AUTHOR Tahaian, Hessam TITLE Conjunction, Relativization, and Complementation in Persian. Colorado Research in Linguistics, No. 5. INSTITUTION Colorado Univ., Boulder. Dept. of Linguistics. PUB DATE May 75 NOTE 187p. AVAILABLE FROM Colorado' Research in Linguistics (CRIL), Department of Linguistics, University of Colorado, Woodbury Hall, Boulder, Colorado 80302 ($2.50) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76 Plus Postage. HC Not Available from EDRS. DESCRIPTORS Descriptive Linguistics; Form Classes (Languages); Indo European Languages; Language Research; Linguistic Theory; Morphology (Languages); *Persian; *Semantics; *Sentence Structure; *Syntax; *Transformation Generative Grammar; Verbs ABSTRACT . This study is concerned with the description of compound sentences, relative clauses, and comp went clauses in Standard Persian within a generative-transformatial grammar. Compound stntences are divided into conjunctive, diSjunctive, and adversativtypes on the basis of the semantic relations they express. A conjunctive clause is eithernon-emphatic or emphatic, a disjunctive clause is either alternative or ultimative, and an adversative clause is either contrastive (oppositive) orexceptional. Relative clauses are divided into attributive (restrictive) and appositive (non-restrictive) relative clauses with the conclusion that an attributive relative clause modifies an antecedentwhich has a multiple referent [-unique],while an appositive relative clause modifies an antecedent which has a unique referent [ +unique]. Both relative clauses result from the reduction of a non-emphatic, conjunctive compound with a coreferential noun. Ezafe constructions (Adjectival and genitive) are shown to be formed by the reductionof a non-emphatic conjunctive compoundwith a coreferential noun in which the second clause contains the verbs "budan"( "be "), or "dastan"( "have "). The complement clauses are analyzed as sentences that serve as an argument (supplement) to a specificclass of impersonal, intransitive, and transitive verbs.

  • Map 89 Armenia Compiled by S.E
    Map 89 Armenia Compiled by S.E. Kroll (Iran), M. Roaf, St J. Simpson and T. Sinclair (Turkey), 1996 Introduction Turkey The Roman empire occupied parts of the area covered by the map, and from 591 nearly all of it. Moreover, irrespective of political hegemony, the Armenian and Syrian regions here were by virtue of culture and religion an extension of the Greek and Roman world. Armenia in the Roman and Late Antique periods was bounded to the west by the R. Euphrates and to the south by the Taurus mountains, apart from the upper Tigris basin (districts of Ingilene, Sophanene and Arzanene). The area to the south of the Taurus was not considered part of Armenia nor settled by Armenians, but was inhabited by Syrians. The northern edge of the map more or less coincides with the boundary of Armenia in the Roman and Late Antique periods, except towards the east, where significant districts of Armenia–the plain east of the R. Araxes and the mountainous area around Lychnitis Limne–lie within Map 88. The parts of Armenia on Map 89 consist mostly of plains separated by mountains and hills. Elevation rises from west to east, reaching about 5,000 ft in the Thospitis Limne basin. It drops, however, in the basin of Matiane Limne and the Araxes plain further north; these two areas were part of Atropatene during classical antiquity, but were counted within Armenia by the early seventh century A.D. (they are now in Iranian Azerbaijan). Despite its height and partly mountainous nature, the terrain of Armenia was capable of supporting a large and quite evenly dispersed population.

As Tabriz located on the Silk Road the bazaar complex which combined production and sale was formed here since early middle ages and became one of the biggest trade centres in the East. Bazaar considered not only place for craft and trade, but also place with public, political and religious significance. Bazaars were specialized for the goods sold there and most of them called by the name of the goods. For instance, Abachi (a cloak-maker) Bazaar, Gandchilar (sugar maker) Bazaar, Pambigchi (cotton maker) Bazaar, Parchasatanlar (cloth seller) Bazaar, Duzchu (salt) Bazaar and so on. Sometimes they were called for the honour of its founder (Hajı Alakbar palace, Amir Bazaar, Muzaffariyya shop and so on), and sometimes showed the identity of the people who use from them (Georgian timcheh). Some bazaars were famous for the name of professions working in bazaars (Nejjarlar (carpenter) Bazaar, Borkcu (hat maker) Bazaar, Misgar (copper maker) bazaar, Serrajlar (saddlemaker) bazaar, Bashmagchi (shoe maker) Bazaar and so on). The magnificent Tabriz Bazaar Complex which consists of Gaysariye (main passage of bazaar), charsug (intersection of two perpendicular rastas), rasta (a double row of shops aligned along roofed linear path), timcha (a small caravanserai), shops, cells, forushgah (trading centre), palace or caravanserai, workshops, dalan (covered alley that connects two rastas), madrasah, mosque, bath and etc.

  • Encyclopaedia of Scientific Units, Weights and Measures Their SI Equivalences and Origins
    FrancËois Cardarelli Encyclopaedia of Scientific Units, Weights and Measures Their SI Equivalences and Origins English translation by M.J. Shields, FIInfSc, MITI 13 Other Systems 3 of Units Despite the internationalization of SI units, and the fact that other units are actually forbidden by law in France and other countries, there are still some older or parallel systems remaining in use in several areas of science and technology. Before presenting conversion tables for them, it is important to put these systems into their initial context. A brief review of systems is given ranging from the ancient and obsolete (e.g. Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Old French) to the relatively modern and still in use (e.g. UK imperial, US customary, cgs, FPS), since a general knowledge of these systems can be useful in conversion calculations. Most of the ancient systems are now totally obsolete, and are included for general or historical interest. 3.1 MTS, MKpS, MKSA 3.1.1 The MKpS System The former system of units referred to by the international abbreviations MKpS, MKfS, or MKS (derived from the French titles meÁtre-kilogramme-poids-seconde or meÁtre-kilo- gramme-force-seconde) was in fact entitled SysteÁme des MeÂcaniciens (Mechanical Engi- neers' System). It was based on three fundamental units, the metre, the second, and a weight unit, the kilogram-force. This had the basic fault of being dependent on the acceleration due to gravity g, which varies on different parts of the Earth, so that the unit could not be given a general definition. Furthermore, because of the lack of a unit of mass, it was difficult, if not impossible to draw a distinction between weight, or force, and mass (see also 3.4).
